To reveal the power of the Notre Dame brand, NBC was up a whopping 67%, while all other networks dropped anywhere from 3%-71%. The 71% drop came from the NBCSportsNetwork which lost the Pac 12 as a partner.

Notre Dame also had the most appearances of any team in the top 15 primetime games at 4, including at #8 in a game against a Boston College team that was 2-7.

2 Things are clear to me from this.

1) Could we be seeing the beginning of a saturation point of college football?

2) Like it or not, a relevant Notre Dame program is the most powerful entity in college football.
